Hello all, currently I have radiators in each room of my house except the living room which has a gas fire. I am thinking of adding a radiator to this room and wondering if it would be cheaper fuel wise to have central heating on in cold weather and not use gas fire as energy bills are prohibitive. Find gas fire not very efficient and of course rest of house is freezing in cold weather. Thanks in advance.
Insulate the property well and keep the heating on low.Cost will depend on the type/age of boiler and system design.Try it for a month and check costs.
